Okay, let's break down the HS codes you've provided for "STONE" and discuss the implications for customs clearance. I'll structure this to be as clear and helpful as possible.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS (Harmonized System) codes are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and so on. Here's how to interpret them in this context:
- Chapter 25: Mineral Products (This covers many types of stone in rough form)
- Chapter 68: Articles of Stone, Plaster, Cement, etc. (This covers worked stone products)
- Chapter 71: Precious Stones, Gemstones, and Pearls (covers natural and synthetic stones)
Detailed Breakdown of Your HS Codes
I'll categorize these for clarity, and highlight key points. Please note: The correct HS code depends on the exact composition, processing, and intended use of the stone.
I. Rough Stone (Chapters 25 & 68)
- 2515.11.00.00: Marble & Travertine (Crude/Roughly Trimmed) - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 2515.20.00.00: Other Calcareous Stone (Crude/Roughly Trimmed) - Tax: 58% (Base 3%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 2516.11.00.00: Granite (Crude/Roughly Trimmed) - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 2516.20.10.00: Sandstone (Crude/Roughly Trimmed) - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
Key Considerations for these codes:
- "Crude or Roughly Trimmed" is crucial. If the stone has been significantly processed (cut to specific sizes, polished, etc.), these codes will not be appropriate.
- Specific Gravity: 2515 specifically refers to stone with an apparent specific gravity of 2.5 or more.
II. Worked Stone (Chapter 68)
- 6802.99.00.90: Worked Monumental/Building Stone (Other) - Tax: 61.5% (Base 6.5%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 6803.00.50.00: Worked Slate - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
Key Considerations for these codes:
- "Worked" implies processing. This includes cutting, shaping, polishing, etc.
- Slate vs. Other Stone: The distinction is important.
III. Precious/Semi-Precious Stones (Chapter 71)
- 7103.10.20.00: Unworked Precious/Semi-Precious Stones - Tax: 37.5% (Base 0%, Add 7.5%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 7103.10.40.00: Other Unworked Precious/Semi-Precious Stones - Tax: 48% (Base 10.5%, Add 7.5%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 7104.29.00.00: Synthetic Stones - Tax: 40.5% (Base 3%, Add 7.5%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
Key Considerations for these codes:
- "Unworked" vs. "Worked": This is critical. "Worked" stones (cut, polished, mounted) will have different codes.
- Natural vs. Synthetic: The distinction is vital.
IV. Carbon Fiber Articles (Chapter 68)
- 6815.11.00.00: Carbon Fibers - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 6815.12.00.00: Carbon Fiber Fabrics - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 6815.13.00.00: Other Carbon Fiber Articles - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
- 6815.91.00.11: Other Articles Containing Magnesite - Tax: 55% (Base 0%, Add 25%, 2025.4.2 Add 30%)
Important Reminders & Recommendations:
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes. The additional 5% tariff will significantly impact the total tax rate.
- Material Composition: Precisely define the material composition of the stone. Even small variations can change the HS code.
- Processing Level: Clearly document the level of processing the stone has undergone.
- Intended Use: The intended use of the stone can also influence the correct HS code.
- Certifications: Depending on the type of stone and its application, you may need certifications (e.g., safety, quality).
- Consult a Customs Broker: I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in China. They can provide definitive guidance based on your specific situation and ensure compliance with all regulations.
- Provide Samples: If possible, provide samples of the stone to the customs broker for accurate classification.
To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code for your goods, could you please provide more details about:
- What is the specific type of stone? (e.g., granite, marble, sandstone, slate, etc.)
- What is the level of processing? (e.g., crude, roughly trimmed, cut to size, polished, etc.)
- What is the intended use of the stone? (e.g., building material, flooring, countertops, monuments, etc.)
- Is the stone natural or synthetic?
- What is the country of origin?
